Description
“Because I knew from the day that we first met, you’d end up hating me.”
Throwing Dead Pigeons Into Oncoming Traffic by Charlie Chitty is a collection of over 40 poems tackling relationships, nostalgia, and other topics. With humor and clarity, Chitty sketches an affecting portrait of the modern world in all of its absurdity and beauty. But don’t take our word for it! This is what Charlie himself says about the book:
Charlie is back once again with another collection of irreverent poems. His debut, “Everything Fun is Illegal or Immoral peaked at Number 1 in the New Release for Amazon.
Granted, the category was Poetry so it may have been twelve copies, three pages and one of those miniature packs of Nesquik, but still!
- HEAR Charlie’s interesting takes on the world.
- SEE some words that are hopefully spelt right.
- FEEL uncomfortable.
- TASTE a sensation that’s akin to Gen Z doom but tastefully and artistically aged without major damage to the authorial nerve. (I don’t know what that means.)
“Charlie uses nuance throughout, featuring unusual creative knowhow alongside really stylized elements to understand radical dreams.” — Christopher Cooper
“He evoked the sound of my toothbrush splashing down in my toilet bowl like I was there. Which I was, but not then. He did it with words.” —- James Griffin, PhD.
“As your lawyer, I advise no comment. No you can’t use that as a quote.” — Sam Jeens
